    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We are a house of rules and we are also a house of records. This is why, indeed, we are called the honourable House and the august House. So that I am not accused of rising frivolously; I am rising specifically under Standing Order No. 47(3) which says: “If the Speaker is of the opinion that any proposed Motion- is contrary to the Constitution or an Act of Parliament, without expressly proposing appropriate amendment to the Constitution or the Act of Parliament; the Speaker may direct either that, the Motion is inadmissible, or that notice of it cannot be given without such alteration as the Speaker my approve or that the Motion be referred to the relevant Committee of the Assembly, pursuant to Article 114(2) of the Constitution.” Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this point of order which I raise and which my colleague, hon. Mbadi and hon. Junet have ventilated upon, is a fundamental part of the procedures and, indeed, the integrity of this House. That is why this House has been called to respond and to deal with this matter of constitutionality. Only recently, on 25th September, 2013, the Chair made a ruling on a similar matter of constitutionality raised in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
